At this time the live stream was pointing towards the area by Ah Qi and so, viewers couldn't see the other surroundings of the filming location. Chen Yi tore open a lollipop as he heard Fu Xiu Nian say by his ear,
"Right, why did you enter the entertainment industry?"
Chen Yi chomped a few times on his lollipop before he noticed that it was grape flavoured. He half-heartedly said,
"Easy money."
There was a gentle but elegant quality to Fu Xiu Nian, where being with him for a while seemed to let others unconsciously drop their guard. Chen Yi, however, was not used to having a heart to heart with another person and so he just quickly polished off the bowl of noodles before shoving it back towards Fu Xiu Nian. Even more impolite than Li Su Li, he said,
"Go wash your dishes."
Fu Xiu Nian silently looked at him,
"This is your bowl."
Chen Yi emotionlessly turned his head,
"Are you going to wash it?"
If not, he will himself.
Fu Xiu Nian: "......I will."
He obediently took the bowl and headed back to the kitchen. Chen Yi stared at his back for a while, watching him through the faint yellow light by the door, and he could faintly see some bugs flying about in the light above him. Chen Yi retracted his gaze and then looked towards the darkness of the trees, clearing his mind.
To be honest, he didn't know why he was here.
Chen Yi slowly pushed back his hair with a stroke of his hand,
"Hey shitty system, do you know?"
[ Ding! Actually, the system's first choice of soul to contract was not you, my dear host. It was only by coincidence that there happened to be a slight error, allowing for a mistake to be born. ]
"What kind of slight coincidence?"
The system rang in his head again, as like an invisible key, unlocking the sealed memories of his previous life. The system spelled out:
[ Before my dear host you died, you expelled all the energy in you, and your cultivated energy was higher than normal, interrupting the system's analysis ]
Martial arts families that had their art passed down for many a generation were all cultivating masters, or on the path of cultivation, especially in regards to their inner strength. Many of them have hidden themselves from the view of the world at large, but each and every one of them could kill without being noticed, using any materials on hand as a weapon, where even flower petals and leaves could be used to slit someone's throat.
And amongst these masters, Chen Yi was the youngest of the generations, and a budding genius at that. But unfortunately his personality was too stubborn and bullheaded, brave, bold but fierce and ferocious. And so the elders within the clan did not look upon him very well, nor did they see him as one who could protect and cultivate the future of the clan at all. Even his blood related family members were more geared to favour his junior, who wasn't even comparable to his strength.
And then later on, he had focused too hard on getting stronger, making him fall into a qi deviation, into disorder within his own mind and lost his life as a subsequent result. Perfectly falling into the mold his father made him out to be, even predicting it from the beginning, as he scolded him about what he would become.
Something too straight and unbending will be all too easily broken......
